Actor Shin Min-a is set to target the global OTT market this fall with the drama 'The Remarried Empress', following her meaningful box office success with the film 'Pupil'.
Shin achieved a notable milestone by drawing 1.5 million moviegoers nationwide with her solo-starring film 'Pupil'. 'Pupil' is a suspense thriller that follows Seo-jin, who is gradually losing her sight due to a genetic disease, as she uncovers the truth behind the suspicious death of her twin sister. In the film, Shin delivered intense suspense with her detailed dual performances as twin sisters Seo-jin and Seo-in.
'Pupil' demonstrated strong momentum by pushing past Disney's animated film 'Toy Story 5', which was competing during the same period, to claim the number one spot at the box office. Consequently, it surpassed 1.5 million admissions, bringing it close to breaking even.
In addition, the film has been officially invited to the competition section of the 59th Sitges Film Festival and has confirmed international releases, including in North America, raising expectations for its overseas performance.
In the second half of the year, Shin will take on the OTT market with the Disney+ original series 'The Remarried Empress'. Transforming into Navier, the empress of the Eastern Empire, she is set to showcase the resilient willpower of an empress who independently carves out her destiny without collapsing in the face of massive trials.
Meanwhile, the film 'Pupil', starring Shin, is currently playing to rave reviews in theaters, while the Disney+ original series 'The Remarried Empress' is scheduled to greet viewers this fall.
